I've gotten some interesting comments lately, along with suggestion for
things to write about. I've also been tagged with the book
meme, and have written a response to that, but I know I am supposed to
tag five other people at the end.

I just have to figure out if I want to tag people whose Internet
personnas I like, or otherwise. Technorati lists over twelve
thousand hits for "book meme", so I might decide to cut it down to
three. We don't want it to spread so fast that we run out of
victims.

But what I am posting today does not require any particular brain power. Earlier today, in the category of things found while looking for other things, I encountered an interview (small PDF file) with Sen. Biden, on Face the Nation.
The headline for the interview has to do with his Presidential
aspirations. What got my attention, though, was his
description of the problems he has had getting access to the mortuary
at the Dover Air Force base in Delaware.

Apparently, there have been
occasions upon which families of deceased
soldiers want Biden to accompany them to the airbase when they do to
get the remains. But someone at the Pentagon will not allow
him to do so. He does not know who, or why. This of
course gets one thinking about conspiracy theories. Continue
